Indeed, and this rule is so ham-fisted that there basically can't even be exceptions, since there wouldn't be enough of them to make a flight economical to fly.
- Freak_NL 3y agoIt's not like travel by car is outlawed. You can't travel by air anywhere unless you happen to live right next to an airport; there is always travel to and from the airport. If a medical condition mysteriously doesn't allow for train travel, but going by car and plane is fine (odd), than travelling for 400km by car is fine too. Most people live quite a distance from the nearest commercial airport in any case (200km in my case, and that's in the tiny Netherlands).
- josephcsible 3y agoMedical conditions that preclude train travel also preclude long-haul car travel.
- TheCoelacanth 3y agoBut somehow you can magically teleport to a commercial airport?
- arlort 3y agoOut of genuine curiosity, which medical conditions preclude train travel but are fine for commercial air travel? Rail has pretty smooth acceleration, no sudden pressure changes, more accessible in case of emergency and no risk of turbulences
